  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have mostly been used for military purposes but with the progress in ICT and reduced manufacturing costs, they are increasingly used for various private services. UAVs are expected to carry out autonomous flying in the future. In order to carry out complex tasks, swarm flights are essential. Although the swarm flights has been researched a lot due to its different network and infrastructure from the existing UAV system, There are still not enough study on security threats and requirements for the secure swarm flights. In this paper, to solve these problems, UAV autonomous flight technology is defined based on US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), and swarm flights and security threat about it are classified. And then we defined and compared security requirements according to security threats of each swarm flights so as to contribute to the development of secure UAC swarm flights in the future.

  • Recently, electronic detonators have been widely used in various sites. Electronic detonators are often used for the purpose of reducing the noise and vibration produced by blasting. In addition, electronic detonators are used for precision blasting at sites where mechanical excavation techniques are applied due to proximity of safety things or where blasting by conventional detonators are not possible. Various technologies are being attempted at the blasting site to increase constructivity and lower production costs by using electronic detonators. In this paper, we would like to introduce a construction case that use of electronic detonators in the situation of safety things being adjacent increases the efficiency of construction while meeting the ground vibration criteria of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport. The blasting was carried out at domestic and overseas shaft using HiTRONIC II™, produced by Hanwha. Generally the shaft blasting is performed by dividing the blasting surface because of the noise and vibration caused by the blasting. but, in the case introduced in this paper, the blasting was carried out once without dividing the blasting surface, thus the construction period could be shortened.

  • It is very important for beginners in networking to build, test, and operate an IP network system, which is the key infrastructure of the fourth industrial revolution. An IP network system consists of the IP network itself, covering both the internet and underlying layers, plus the basic network system supporting fundamental network services, with a DNS, the DHCP, email, WWW, and application service systems, such as VoIP. This paper suggests an open software-based practice platform with a minimal network configuration on which beginners can practice on nearly all of the IP network system, and it presents a practice scenario and results. In addition, it adds both IP address allocation and routing table manipulation functions to the network simulator software, which will allow beginners to learn table-based datagram routing schemes in advance. This platform may be useful for networking beginners in order to practice on an IP network system on their own personal computers without additional equipment and costs.

  • The routinized wireless devices such as smart phone have promoted to expand the use of IEEE 802.11 groups. The challenge environments of the wireless network utilizes effectively and user-oriented seamless services that handover is the most desirable issues under the wireless circumstance. In data center software defined network (SDN) has provided the flow routing to reduce costs and complexities. Flow routing has directly offered control for network administrator and has given to reduce delay for users. Under the circumstance of being short of network facilities, SDNs give the virtualization of network environments and to support out of the isolation traffic conditions. It shows that the mechanism of handover makes sure seamless services for higher density of the network infrastructure which is SDN to support network service re-configurable.

  • Large access providers (ISPs) are seeking for new types of business agreements and pricing models to manage network costs and monetize better the provision of last-mile services. A typical paradigm of such new pricing norms is the proliferation of paid peering deals between ISPs and content providers (CPs), while on top of this, some ISPs are already experimenting with usage-based tariffs, usually through data-plans, instead of the typical fixed-based charging. In this work we define as common platform, the infrastructure in which a single ISP transacts with several CPs through peering agreements. In this context, we examine whether, and under which market conditions, the profitability of the involved stakeholders improves when the establishment of this platform is accompanied by a monetary compensation from the CPs to the ISP (paid peering), v.s. a scenario where their deal is a typical settlement-free one. In both cases, we assume that the ISP implements a usage-based access pricing scheme, implying that end-users will pay more for higher transaction rates with the CPs. Our framework captures some of the most important details of the current market, such as the various business models adopted by the CPs, the end-users' evaluation towards the ISP's and CPs' level of investments and the traffic rates per transaction for the offered services. By analysing the equilibrium derived by a leader-follower game, it turns out (among other practical takeaways) that whether or not the profitability of a CP improves, it highly depends on whether its business model is to sell content, or if it obtains its revenue from advertisements. Finally, we extract that consumer surplus is considerably higher under paid peering, which in turn implies improved levels of social welfare.

  • Today, as railways increase their capacity and speeds, it is more important than ever to be completely aware of the state of vehicles fleet's condition to ensure the highest quality and safety standards, as well as being able to maintain the costs as low as possible. Operation of a modern, dynamic and efficient railway demands a real time, accurate and reliable evaluation of the infrastructure assets, including signal networks and diagnostic systems able to acquire functional parameters. In the conventional system, measurement data are reliably collected using coaxial wires for communication between sensors and the repository. As sensors grow in size, the cost of the monitoring system can grow. Recently, auto-powered wireless sensor has been considered as an alternative tool for economical and accurate realization of structural health monitoring system, being provided by the following essential features: on-board micro-processor, sensing capability, wireless communication, auto-powered battery, and low cost. In this work, an original harvester device is designed to supply wireless sensor system battery using train bogie energy. Piezoelectric materials have in here considered due to their established ability to directly convert applied strain energy into usable electric energy and their relatively simple modelling into an integrated system. The mechanical and electrical properties of the system are studied according to the project specifications. The numerical formulation is implemented with in-house code using commercial software tool and then experimentally validated through a proof of concept setup using an excitation signal by a real application scenario.

  • This study undertakes a simulation analysis for evaluating the benefits and costs of smart grid hub project. The purpose of the study is to explore extensively the alternatives for infrastructure configurations and identify the best scenarios that can satisfy all the stakeholder needs. We consider 19 parameters for configurating a smart grid hub city, and take a strategy of exhaustive search to find configurations that meet the two criteria simultaneously: each stakeholder's B/C ratio should be equally distributed and the B/C ratio of the entire city should be maximized. The results offer some meaningful implications for building a successful deployment strategy that can facilitate the diffusion of smart grid technologies.

  • The Epoxy-coated Reinforcing bars have been proved to be able to extend a durability life because of its excellent corrosion resistance in bridges and structures under marine and severe environments. The usage of epoxy-coated reinforcement is continuously increasing in developed countries such as the US and Japan. However, domestic use is extremely limited due to lack of research and development, poor production facilities, low quality, increase of initial costs, and difficulty of field management. This study suggests the improvement of construction quality management such as manufacturing, transportation and construction for the field application through the test construction of the proven product in the related test results of the epoxy coated steel bars produced in the recently improved manufacturing facility.
